dil to pazhmurda hai dagh-e-gulsitan hon to kya
aankhen roti hain dahan-e-zakhm khandan hon to kya

dagh-e-gham dil par utha kar marne wale mar gae
burj qabron ke agar sarw-e-charaghan hon to kya

begamen shahzadiyan phirne lagin khana-kharab
ab chudelen sahiban-e-qasr-o-diwan hon to kya

farsh-e-khak ab ahl-e-masnad ko nahin hota nasib
boriya-baf aaj zeb-e-takht-e-sultan hon to kya

masjiden tuti padi hain saumee viran hain
yaad-e-haq mein ek do dil-ha-e-sozan hon to kya

sufiyan-saf-tinat wasil-e-haq ho gae
khud-numa do chaar nang-e-ahl-e-irfan hon to kya

bujh gain shamen jalen parwane to kya faeda
ud gae parwane shamen nur-afshan hun to kya

sakht-jaan o be-haya do chaar hum se jo rahe
har ghadi paband-e-khauf-e-izzat-o-jaan hon to kya

karbala mein ya najaf mein chal ke mar jaen 'munir'
hind mein hum pahlu-e-gor-e-ghariban hon to kya
